This complaint is closed at request of OP's previous post. Good to see it was sorted out.

I am looking to teach new players how to play Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition. I have been DMing for a few years now and want to expand my scope a bit. If you are veteran player and still interested the door is open to you. The first adventure will require you to make a character at 7th level. Each adventurer should take no more than 1-3 sessions. When? These games run on SATURDAYS from 6pm to 10pm EST time zone. What do I need? You will need the following items to play in my game Tabletop Simulator on steam 7th level character of your choice A working microphone Good internet so that you do not constantly disconnect What is the campaign setting? These one-shots will all take place within Waterdeep which is a city in the Faerun setting. No knowledge of either is required but will help you. What is the adventure hook? Your character has been hired by Thomas Silvers a well known Merchant operating out of the Dock Ward. One of his ships recently returned with salvage from a shipwreck and has been beset by apparitions and undead. The job is to clear out the undead and ghosts aboard his ship so that it can return to business as usual. Do you have a list of rules you use? Yes I do. Most of these are self-explanatory. https://docs.google.com/document/d/152qgSkATzApO2yAo9vvKdb4SMpTk63X4UwAaMdt65A8/edit What do I do if I am interested? Send me a DM on discord Garnascus#7459 if you are able to make the times and have all the items required. If you have never made a character before I will walk you through the process,

Alrighty. Have a nice day.

DO NOT LET THESE PEOPLE HAVE A PLATFORM!!!

OH? YOU'RE APPROACHING ME?

YOU DARE TO BESMIRCH MY NAME? I HAVE ALL OF YOUR IP ADDRESSES, REAL LIFE ADDRESSES, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, LINKEDINS, AND ROBLOX SECURITY INFO. FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT

You are entitled to your opinion but you have to understand yours is an opinion that has been repeated for years. Aurora has been one of if not the most successful HRP servers on the HUB and our imminent demise due to our stuck up micromanaging admins who do not let people say the n word has been prophesized for 8 years now. The reality is there is nothing wrong with us disallowing certain conduct. Complaint closed.

Actually we can. Breaking immersion, powergaming and EORG are all things that are clearly defined in our rules. Calling someone a paranoid hoarder or a hate-driven lunatic is not enough to invoke either or these rules. I will aknowledge that the "immersion" rule is a little bit more of a grey area. We would also not allow a character to use the n word IC or threaten to rape another character.

ERP or erotic roleplay is strictly prohibited on our server. Calling someone a needy slut regardless if its IC or not is unacceptable due to its sexual nature.

The EE ship is really neat and a genuinely fresh idea that gives players a reason to be invested in other megacorp lore. I think it just has some growing pains and i would hate to see such an interesting idea wasted. Like others have said we just need clear boundaries on what they are and are not allowed to do. That is a meaningful discussion. What is not a meaningful discussion is whether or not they are antags. Outside of the fancy powers and guns antagonists are equipped with there is only one meaningful difference between a regular crewmember and an antagonist. The antagonist is permitted to presuppose a reason to fuck someone or somethings day up. They are allowed to start the shift with the goal of doing something nefarious. That's it. That is the only difference. Following this logic the EE crew are antagonists. I think we should embrace this and move on to a discussion on what they are allowed to do and how often they should show up. As an example here are some rough guidelines on what i reckon would be healthy objectives for the EE crew - Charting the course of the horizon through sectors - Monitoring radio comms for intelligence - Snapping photos of the outside of the horizon The goal here being acting as an antagonist but in a cursory way. A "Soft-antag" for those love that labels. Encourage and incentivize the EE crew to gather intelligence, observe and report back to their leadership. Lets contrast this with a list of things the EE should NEVER do. - Kidnap crew of the horizon - Break and enter into the horizon - Steal items from the horizon - Bomb the horizon The list goes on and on. The EE ship is not a merc team and should not act like one. Keep in mind the specific "objectives" on both of these lists are not super important. The idea is simply being stealthy is good, being loud is bad. We probably do not want the EE ship taking over rounds. It may even be a good idea to add "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO LAND ON THE HORIZON". Also, probably dont cite anything i have written here as "The law". This is an ongoing discussion with no solid conclusions yet.

Is there a reason that when you mentioned the wiki maintainers in our general discord you cropped your warning? They where quite surprised when i showed them the entire warning and explained the context to them.

You admitted in the ticket to eavesdropping on the situation because you where bored. The second the unathi said something which could be considered a crime you copy and pasted what he said over thsecurity channel. This is literally the definition of validhunting. The wiki has already been updated to be consistent with server rules. There is counterplay to most things that break the server rules. They are still against the rules. The quicker security catches wind of what the antag is doing the sooner the antag gets thrown in a cell. We ought avoid overt measures that allow this to happen. Eavesdropping on people because you are bored as AI qualifies as an overt measure. The person who ahelped a particular issue is not, and never has been relevant. Issues are investigated on their own merit.

I feel that based on Danse's testimony here that he did not really do anything wrong. I am empathic to courier's perspective here that they felt sidelined by the round. I also believe i was in on the server when the revs made that particular announcement so danse's actions make sense to me. I understand being demoted can be frustrating. It has been many years since i have played captain during a revolutionary round but i have talked to enough people since then to know it is VERY stressful. You constantly have half the ship begging for your attention. Its not easy to do and i expect one or two problems.

So, wait. @Bejewledpot Is your contention that IC danse had no reason to suspect you where not a loyalist? That he removed your access just because you said "no" on the loyalist prompt?

End of an era.

Alrighty. Locking and archiving.

I just have some initial observations as well as some questions. I understand from your post here that you have an issue with a lore arc due to it mirroring the real life ukraine-russia conflict. Can you go into some more detail about this? It also seems that Caelphon never said he knew it would make people uncomfortable. All he did was apologize if it makes you uncomfortable and that the arc was greenlit back in December. The response is pretty neutral. He is not necessarily required to have a dialogue about why he does not want to cancel the arc.

Well you going mask off saves me the trouble of giving you some bad news. You are no longer welcome in this community. Do not ever appeal this.

When did alberyk say that everything would up and running in a few months? All i see is him saying testing starts at the end of january. Regarding the voting system he did not want to run an overly complex voting method for an incredibly minor part of the map. As it says on the initial testing announcement thread we took the two most voted names and ran a week long vote between them.

I do not really understand what your issue is. You quoted Alberyk's message from december and said "FTR, it took months". I scrolled up to the initial argument from December and then i looked at the dates for the NBT testing announcement. It seems that at the time of the argument the dates where clearly listed and now three months later we have pretty closely followed that schedule. So i do not know why you quoted Alberyk.

Alrighty. Locking and archiving.

Alright. Then i will lock and archive this one and we can focus on the the ban. I might need to reference posts from this one since it seems the interaction in contention is expounded on here a bit. That sound alright?
